GENERAL
1).I.will.not.fly.my.model.aircraft.in.sanctioned.

events,.air.shows.or.model.flying.demonstrations.until.

it.has.been.proven.to.be.airworthy.by.having.been.

previously,.successfully.flight.tested.
2).I.will.not.fly.my.model.higher.than.approximately.

400.feet.within.3.miles.of.an.airport.without.notifying.

the.airport.operator..I.will.give.right-of-way.and.avoid.

flying.in.the.proximity.of.full-scale.aircraft..Where.

necessary,.an.observer.shall.be.utilized.to.supervise.

flying.to.avoid.having.models.fly.in.the.proximity.of.

full-scale.aircraft.
3).Where.established,.I.will.abide.by.the.safety.rules.

for.the.flying.site.I.use,.and.I.will.not.willfully.and.

deliberately.fly.my.models.in.a.careless,.reckless.and/

or.dangerous.manner.
4).The.maximum.takeoff.weight.of.a.model.is.55.

pounds,.except.models.flown.under.Experimental.

Aircraft.rules.
5).I.will.not.fly.my.model.unless.it.is.identified.with.

my.name.and.address.or.AMA.number,.on.or.in.the.

model..(This.does.not.apply.to.models.while.being.

flown.indoors.)
6).I.will.not.operate.models.with.metal-bladed.

propellers.or.with.gaseous.boosts,.in.which.gases.

other.than.air.enter.their.internal.combustion.

engine(s);.nor.will.I.operate.models.with.extremely.

hazardous.fuels.such.as.those.containing.

tetranitromethane.or.hydrazine.

7).I.will.not.operate.models.with.pyrotechnics.(any.

device.that.explodes,.burns,.or.propels.a.projectile.

explosive.bombs.dropped.from.models,.smoke.

bombs,.all.explosive.gases.(such.as.hydrogen-filled.

balloons),.or.ground.mounted.devices.launching.a.

projectile..The.only.exceptions.permitted.are.rockets.

flown.in.accordance.with.the.National.Model.Rocketry.

Safety.Code.or.those.permanently.attached.(as.per.

JATO.use);.also.those.items.authorized.for.Air.Show.

Team.use.as.defined.by.AST.Advisory.Committee.

(document.available.from.AMA.HQ)..In.any.case,.

models.using.rocket.motors.as.a.primary.means.of.

propulsion.are.limited.to.a.maximum.weight.of.3.3.

pounds.and.a.G.series.motor..(A.model.aircraft.is.

defined.as.an.aircraft.with.or.without.engine,.not.able.

to.carry.a.human.being.)
8).I.will.not.consume.alcoholic.beverages.prior.to,..

flight.instruction.

RADIO CONTROL
1).I.will.have.completed.a.successful.radio.equipment.

ground.range.check.before.the.first.flight.of.a.new.or.

repaired.model.
2).I.will.not.fly.my.model.aircraft.in.the.presence.

of.spectators.until.I.become.a.qualified.flier,.unless.

assisted.by.an.experienced.helper.
3).At.all.flying.sites.a.straight.or.curved.line(s).must.

be.established.in.front.of.which.all.flying.takes.place.

with.the.other.side.for.spectators..Only.personnel.

involved.with.flying.the.aircraft.are.allowed.at.or.in.

the.front.of.the.flight.line..Intentional.flying.behind.the.

flight.line.is.prohibited.
4).I.will.operate.my.model.using.only.radio.control.

frequencies.currently.allowed.by.the.Federal.

Communications.Commission..(Only.properly.

licensed.Amateurs.are.authorized.to.operate.
